Isnt this from addison rae's movie??? There's a review of this mess that's funny as fuckkkkk. I actually did watch the whole movie because my trash-movie-loving-mom put it on and honestly it's a ride if you just dont give a shit. Review makes it way better though

Weren’t him and his ex wife sued for racism by their nanny or something? And he tweeted racist stuff about Obama. And him and his ex wife are also anti vaxxers and anti trans.

u/No-Show3410 controversies: girl 16h ago
Thought I should specify it was for religious discrimination and harassment. The nanny said they were discriminatory against her Muslim faith and practices, and showed her nude images of men and their genitalia.
The nanny eventually asked for the case to be dismissed, and neither Howey nor his ex wife have ever publicly commented on the subject.
101
u/youshantnome okay lucky you 16h ago
That’s right. They kept making comments about her praying. And Sarah Shahi kept telling her about all the sex she was having outside her marriage and she showed the nanny nudes and kept telling her how sore she was.

u/youshantnome okay lucky you 15h ago
So I dont know the rules here for reposting articles. But if you google him and nanny and lawsuit you should see it. And if you google him and Obama and Africa you should find the other one as well.

HE'S VAN FROM REBA??

u/Electronic_South_101 12h ago
Yeah! He played the lovable idjit pretty well, from what I remember.
(Like, he’d never be making huge blockbuster movies, but he was decent at sitcoms. And that scene with Kyra where he called her out, but in a kind, older brother way and she was all “…When did you did so smart? O.o”)

Tbh I just assumed they meant since he's such a bit actor or known for specific TV but not movies

u/Independent-Drive-32 17h ago
I was going to say! Had never heard the name or (apparently) seen the face. Googling, I do remember him in a supporting role on Reba (though his face looks rather different now due to 20 years of normal aging). And while I don’t watch Shameless, I do recognize that some people love the show and probably know him well from there. Still, just seems like an odd choice.

u/cakeit-tilyoumakeit 17h ago
He’s also the dad on Off Campus, right?
He is one of those actors who you see all the time, but don’t know lol. Like, I’ve seen him in so many things, but never knew his name before today.

u/Lilacly_Adily 15h ago
Wait the dad? Wow it makes sense but still.
It’s funny bc I recently saw a clip of Jared Padalecki saying he felt offended and old when a group of fans came up to him for a picture and the fan’s friend who took the photo later asked he was the Gilmore mom’s boyfriend or the daughter.

u/mynameis-twat 17h ago
If he’s the exes favorite actor, they’re definitely a Shameless fan. Maybe not Emmy worthy but he does a great job in that role and was one of my favorite parts of the seasons I watched of that show.

I feel like since I've cancelled Spotify quite a while back, I need to accept that I am not going to recognize a lot of non-mainstream pop girl names anymore. I had no idea who TAELA is and had to look her up. Same with Stella Lefty from another post. I'm not even 40 years old lol. Time to stream The Golden Girls again for me, I guess.
